My server uses CPANEL and I was wondering whether or not there is a way to let users check their email online, like hotmail. A login page or something so they don't have to set the email up on there PC if they don't want to.

Thanks in advance!

Yeah, just give 'em the direct URL to horde.

Or setup a forwarding script.

I don't think you have to give them Cpanel access necessarily. All you need to do is goto the email section in Cpanel and create an email address for them. Then what you do is send them to yourdomain.com/webmail (I think) and it will prompt them for a username and password to access the online mail section.

thanks for the help on this before guys, I wanted to see if there was anyway possible to place a signup form on a site, kind of like bigmailbox does, a form to signup for an email address or login/pass for site visitors to get an email @mydomain.com ?

is this feasible?

I ROCK! And so does Google! Found this php script to automate email signups. Hope it works for you!
